Invoke Their Wrath

A look at the Assault on Ulthuan expansion for Warhammer: Invasion

Once again, the shores of Ulthuan are besieged. Led by Malekith, a power-hungry betrayer who seeks to rule the High Elves or destroy them in the attempt, the insidious Dark Elves drive an army of slaves deep into the lands of the Phoenix King. This will be a battle that will shake the Old World to its core; Malekith's prowess is as legendary as his ultimate betrayal, but the Phoenix King and his followers will do everything in their power to oppose the vile and destructive Dark Elves.

In December, we announced Assault on Ulthuan, an upcoming deluxe expansion for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game! The Assault on Ulthuan expansion explores the bitter enmity between the Dark Elves, a cruel race who enslave and sacrifice prisoners, and the High Elves, a proud race who rely on healing an ranged attacks. Featuring two forty-card core decks for these new factions, plus a host of new cards for players of existing factions, Assault on Ulthuan will bring a new level of excitement to your Warhammer: Invasion experience.

For this week’s “card of the week” feature, we’re pleased to reveal two powerful tactics that will no doubt become additions to any Elf player’s deck.

First, the tactic card "For Ulthuan!" allows a High Elf player to strike a devastating blow against an unsuspecting enemy. Before choosing which of your battlefield units will be taking part in either attack, play this card. You will want to build your battlefield units considerably beforehand, since you will have to split your attacking forces... but if played correctly, you can bring the game to an early end!

In response, the Dark Elves possess a tactic that is potentially every bit as devastating as the Orc’s Troll Vomit or the Empire’s Judgement of Verena. "Invoke Khaine’s Wrath" lets you deliver a harsh punishment to any foe, and its presence in your deck will make your opponent think twice about how many units to declare as attackers.

Both cards will make their way onto tabletops this spring, with the release of Assault on Ulthuan. Join us next week for another spotlight on Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game!
